Opinion: The Bronson administration still owes the public answers about the fluoride fiasco
the fluoridation incident had occurred. He did not explain why he had initially lied about it.
This suggests that, in Corsentino’s opinion, the public record, as of Dec. 16, was still not accurate.Corsentino, Hickel says now, told her back in August that “AWWU employees” had complained about working with fluoride, that it irritated their eyes and skin. Apparently it was such a serious and urgent issue that in two months she never found time to tell the mayor. It was only as she and Bronson were driving to Eklutna on Oct. 1, she claims, that she remembered to bring it up.
There is good reason to doubt that employee health concerns about fluoride were serious, or that they played any role in the decision to stop fluoridating.Aaron Pilkat, the business manager of the Local 367 Plumber & Pipefitters, the union that represents AWWU’s blue-collar workers, about fluoride, Pilkat said no AWWU worker had reported to the union any health or safety concerns about their work with the chemical.
Bronson and Demboski are both right-wing ideologues. We know Bronson’s anti-science views include opposition to masks and vaccines. To a degree, modern-day fluoridation opponents are anchronisms from the late 1940s and ‘50s, but they are also predecessors of today’s anti-vaxxers.
